Hi Dave, thanks for this. The more different photo edits I watch, the better my understanding of all the various ways the panel can be used. Outstanding channel, well paced and clear explanations. Well done!
Dave -- Thank you for demonstrating how to create the channels, use the mask calculator and adjust the colour and tones of the subject using the colour grading tool. I am beginning to appreciate the power of using the Tk 8 pane!! Thanks again for another great Tk Friday Tutorial!!
Hi Dave: Another great video. I really liked seeing and understanding your approach to editing this image via TK8. I certainly have a number of images that will benefit from the techniques that you have utilized in this composition. Admittedly, I may have to watch this video several times to get a firm grasp of the concepts. But to me, that is the best part of your teaching style. Cheers, Keith
Dave - every one of these you do is better than the previous ones. But you have set the bar pretty high with this video. Tons of new things to learn especially the way you use the mask calculator and the intersect option. Well worth viewing this one more than once and taking copious notes while following along.
Thanks Dave another great Tutorial. Since I have been watching your TK Friday segments I really do not know how I did Post Processing without the TK Panel. And thanks to Tony Kuyper for the Panel. Absolutely amazing. I would just like to add that your teaching method is perfect for me. TK Friday is the highlight of my week.
This is brilliant stuff Dave! I've always struggled with the intersection piece of the calculator, but feel like I have a much better grasp of it now (after watching the video 3-4 times). Thank you so much for putting out fantastic content sir!
Dave, an excellent tutorial demonstrating the power and flexibility in Tony's panel. I really especially the ability to have access to a file to follow your procedures and your very complete descriptions of your editing process.
Hi Dave, Man that was amazing! I've been using the calculator on some of my images and sometimes I fumble a bit thinking that something in my edit can't be done. You've proved me wrong. This video gave me more confidence to just experiment and try something following my gut feeling. To my surprise, things come out right! The calculator tool alone is worth the price of admission in my view. The TK8 panel and the educational videos are amazing.
Happiness is TK Friday. Wow. So many helpful tips. You packed some great techniques into each tutorial. THANKS!!! FYI. I caught your Bob Ross reference - excellent.
Dave...thanks so much for the explanation on the calculated masking. I had been playing with it lately and didn't quite grasp all the concepts. But your quick lesson showed me exactly what I needed. Keep up the good work of the deep dives into the intricacies of the TK8. Very much appreciated.
Dave - Friday night here in Vietnam is my favorite as I end the work week to tune in with TK Fridays and Large Format Fridays. Given I shoot only film, I'd like to request a TKF episode on removing the dreaded white "DUST". The use of the calculator and color grading is now an addition to my PS workflow. Thank you and Tony.
Another great tutorial. Since purchasing the TX8 PLUGIN my whole approach to post processing has changed. Love the idea of 'Masking for Success' and makes me analyse my image before editing. Do you any videos on the best approach too image analysis or point me to some that will help?
You are welcome. I don't know what I would do without the TK panels. It takes some time to learn them but once you do they unlock a whole new world of Photoshop editing.
Thanks Dave; this again is a superb tutorial on TK8 useage. A big thank you for the capture download. These images, that we can download, provide a necessary tool to actually practice your TK8 techniques. Being a wildlife and bird photographer, this is like a hanging curveball YES, YES, YES, HOMERUN.
Hello Dave, I have viewed this fantastic tutorial several more times, and I’ve gotten something new out of it each time. I’m fairly proficient with Photoshop, and I’m becoming more confident with the TK8 panel and the incredible power of the various masks it can create. However, after having just watched the video again, it’s even clearer to me that my editing Achilles’ heel is the analysis of the trouble spots, such as what you did with the 7-item list at the beginning of the video. I don’t recall seeing any tutorials on how to analyze an image like that. The glaring ones are obvious, but I often overlook the subtle difference makers. Is that something that’s just innate, or can it be learned? If it’s the latter, do you have any tutorials on that, or know of any?
Thanks Dave! In your video every time i find something interesting to me. Dave, can you in one TK Friday make training in portrait photo? So interesting how work with skin.
Yes I will have to work on that. I haven't done much work lately with portraits so I will need to brush up on it. The Frequency Separation action will definitely come in handy with portraits, but I find you can use it on all types of photography.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly The frequency separation i use all the time. Maybe you will find some interesting tips which we can use with portrait. Your videos are very exciting and helpful. Thank you very much for what you are doing!
Possibly, there are so many different ways of doing things in Photoshop and with the TK8 Plug-in. I like to show all of the different options giving everyone their own choices.
I am new to photoshop, have new Apple Mac Book Pro with 32Gm memory (M1 chip). when following your video I run out of memory (RAM) when all apps closed and 1/2 through your video. Apple is no help, any ideas?
@@patrickkeeley2675 I am not sure. It seems strange that you would be running out RAM memory. 32gb is a fair amount of memory, I would think that 8 or 16 should also work but 32 should be excellent. . I am surprised Apple can’t help. Did you call Apple care and actually talk to a tech? I am thinking that most likely you are still under warranty?
Thanks again Dave. Where I'm still a bit confused is when u do the mask calculator, there is a step where you x out of the current. It seems non intuitive to me. maybe you could go a little slower there with a bit more explanation.
Sorry Dave, but I’m struck by the incongruity of the warm colors of the mountain and foreground, but the cold colorless sky! By that, I mean, where do these warm “golden hour” colors come from? Certainly not from that cloudy sky. Bottom line: you have a total mis-match in the coloration and warmth between the sky and the land. This sky needs to be replaced by one that’s at least semi-realistic.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly It's strange, if I change my workspace to one of the PS templates it's available within the Q selection tool. But if I go back to my personally created workspace for editing on two screens, the option disappears. It's as if I need to update this tool somehow in my workspace from a previous version.
@@whitphotography look for the (ellipse …) in your list of tools. Right Click on it. This is how you can edit your tool bar. You should find the object selection tool in there. I believe you can LEFT click it and drag it into your Tool Bar.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Found it. Had to go to 'Edit' > 'Toolbar'. It was in 'Extra Tools' so just had to drag it into the Quick Selection tool area.

A M A Z I N G !!! 😳👏. As usual, fantastic !!!!!
Thanks Jose.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly The difficulty level !!!. I have to visualize this chapter a few times more, I am afraid ;-)
@@lookforbeauty1964 it may take some time Jose. Just take it one step at a time. I know you’ll get it.

Thanks you.
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot about the calculator and how to use it. I am going to have to watch this a few times to catch it all.
Great tutorials Dave. Finally getting a handle on TK actions. Wonderfull tool. All the best.

Great work Dave.... Love the 1.5 mask technique. Saves time over slider adjustments & pinpoints those intermediary tones perfectly.
Thanks. I have to give the credit to Tony Kuyper for that one. I agree it is a great technique.
Thank you very much! Excellent tutorial Dave. I really appreciate all your tutorials specifically TK Friday
You're welcome. I really love making the TK Friday videos.
I’m really enjoying and learning A LOT from these TK videos Dave, thank you!!
I am glad you are learning and I am equally glad to help. Thanks Thelma.
Another superb video Dave. It's so very helpful when you introduce new techniques and new TK features.
Thank you Donald.
